Field Notes

Description:

This little guy was around 2cm in size, was found among dead leafs, very well camouflaged and was very jumpy. Didn't get a chance to take more pics of it as it was very quick to jump and disappeared among the dead leafs.

Thanks, Mr. Goldfish for the ID indication.
Mr. Goldfish
From a glance looks similar to Panurgica. Don't know for certain if it is though.
